There actually is a real, present threat of extinction of the Israeli state, nation and all families contained within. The threat takes the shape of a worldwide community deciding for Israel that it must submit to a two-state solution where the other state has a military, has demonstrated willingness to murder, torture and rape all Israeli Jews and has the close physical proximity required to execute such an act with resistance being almost physically impossible (take a look at a map of Israel and imagine how many civilians will die from say 20 Iranian mortars stationed in the mountains of Shomron). Even if Israel survives such an attack, it could easily kill 10% of the Jewish population, and looking at international sentiment right now, it definitely seems like Israel would not be able to retaliate in such a case.
Even just allowing Hamas to survive is an incredibly massive threat, as they have already demonstrated the ability to commit one October 7th and if they are allowed to they will have no problem executing another one after some years of rebuilding their strength (though next time I assume they will tone down the atrocities to immediately get the international community on their side, so you'll probably see less rape and genital mutilation and just the regular, internationally permitted, murder of Jews).
